Well, in fact it's on purpose : i've choosen not to translate some terms/words, as they technicaly have a meaning that is totaly lost when "litteraly" translated. Actually, translating those terms could lead to a kind of a "google-translated" flavor...If you see what i mean :) There are different categories of such "un-translatable" words: - - as you said, "PDF, TTL" but also "IPv4" are *common language* - - words like "scripting", "scan" are technical words that are used as-it in french. They have a "litteral" equivalent, but (french readers, this is for you !) "écriture", "balayage" doesn't mean anything in a technical context.
Okay, that's a good explanation. David Fifield _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
